Finalizada la Guerra Civil americana, un teniente coronel llega a Fort Apache acompañado por su hija. Su personalidad intransigente provocará conflictos con los indios mescaleros y con sus compañeros militares.

El padre del western inaugura su trilogía sobre la Caballería estadounidense, con un ímpetu legendario inspirado por el ocaso del General Custer. Una precisa descripción del universo castrense fordiano -esto es, camaradería, romance y humor- cuya ética se eleva por encima de cualquier discurso o rigor histórico. Sentó bases imperecederas.
